Regular Member capillus incrementum Posted November 18, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hello everyone, 6 days ago I had my FUE hair transplant at BHR Clinic in Brussels. Below some more information regarding my profile and the procedure. Age: 27 Regime: Dut 0.5mg EOD, Min 5mg (oral) Graft count: 2219 1 FU: 404; 2 FU: 1116; 3 FU: 690; 4 FU: 9 Started noticing hair loss around 22. It started very minor at the temples and accelerated over the next years. Eventually started minoxidil & dutasteride to control the hair loss. 2 years after starting the hair loss regime, I felt like it was time to get my hair back. After doing some research I ended up with Dr. Bisanga & Dr. Feriduni. Originally, I wanted to have a consultation with both but after my chat with Dr. Bisanga and some research on his work, I was sold. He's a great doctor (one of the best), with a great team. My hairline at 19. Below some pictures to show the pre-op status. In the next post I will share pictures of the day of the procedure, the day after and 6 days after. I want to give a special thanks to Hilde, Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Kostis and the technicians from BHR Clinic. They are very friendly, professional and warm people. I also want to thank everyone on this forum since this has given me a lot of inspiration and courage to take this step. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member capillus incrementum Posted November 18, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 18, 2021 Some words on my experience after the first 6 days: The first 2 nights I didn't really have any trouble getting enough sleep. I'd wake up every 1-2 hours but I'd still get 7-8 hours of sleep. From the 3rd night it became harder due to swelling and itching. Night 4 & 5 were really hard because of the itching. I hope the itching gets better from now on. I'm following the post-op instructions very carefully and for the itching I use Aloe vera gel (which only helps a little bit). I don't have any pictures of the day of the OP except for this one. If you look closely, the incisions follow the same pattern as my hairline at age 19 (posted above). I can only show my respect to Dr. Bisanga of how detailed and good his work is. Day 1 Post OP. My back was bleeding when I took off the bandage so for the first day and second night, I still applied a bandage. On day 2 the bleeding completely stopped. Day 6 Post OP. Some great improvement in my donor. The recipient also seems to be healing nice. In two days I'll be in the last phase of the post-op care (day 8 - 14). I'll come back with an update at day 10, hopefully scab free. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: How low was your hairline before/after the procedure? As you can see in the first pictures of my post, my hairline receded a good amount over the last years. Also a lot of thinning in the front. Styling was still possible but became harder due to temple recession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member capillus incrementum Posted January 18, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 18, 2022 My apologies for the 1 week delay (pictures are from 2 months though). I wish everyone a successful and healthy 2022. 2 month update. Will try to make better pictures for month 3 but I feel like it's hard now with the contrast between the long native hair and grown transplanted hair. Hard to say howmuch I lost but didn't really notice a hard shedding phase. Redness is slowly going away (also using Emu oil since about 2 weeks). The feeling above the transplanted hair is almost fully back now (finally). Had my first barber visit in what felt like ages. Sides & back cut short as you can see on the pictures below.

Regular Member capillus incrementum Posted March 6, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 6, 2022 4 month update. The quality and texture of the hair is slowly becoming more natural. Feel like left side has a harder time growing than right side. Hopefully the next month(s) will show more growth and thickness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MachoVato Posted March 6, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 6, 2022 Such great work. This really is the *start* of the growth phase. Things will get very exciting... new growth every week. You might even be able to get a proper haircut in the next month or two, to even things out. 1 HLC Ankara | 4261 Grafts | Nov 7, 2020 (Hairline) Dr. Bisanga, BHR Clinic in Brussels | 1528 Grafts | Aug 12, 2021 (Crown and Temples) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member capillus incrementum Posted April 3, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 3, 2022 5 months yesterday. The last couple of weeks have been great. The quality and thickness got to a point where I was confident enough with styling my hair a little bit. For the past 4 months I've been wearing my hair down but after 4 months and 1-2 weeks, I've been able to do something nice with it, which is awesome. As you can see on some wet pictures I hopefully have some growing and thickening left to do. Can't wait to see what the next months will bring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
